Abstract (en)

A method of detecting gas with a photoionization detector, PID, system (1, 100), comprising: determining and storing, by a controller (2, 102), a zero level of a photoionization detector (4, 104, 106, 108, 112, 116), using ambient air inflow when an ultraviolet lamp (106) is in a turned OFF state, wherein the stored zero level is based on an ambient temperature; sampling, by the controller (2, 102), an output of a detector electrode (108) of the photoionization detector (4, 104, 106, 108, 112, 116) when the ultraviolet lamp (106) is in a turned ON state; comparing the sampled output of the detector electrode (108) to the stored zero level to determine if a threshold concentration of a gas is present, wherein the photoionization detector system (1,100) senses ambient temperature and algorithmically adapts the stored zero level based on changes in the sensed ambient temperature.
